Doodle 020 - Dragon to Good Home

Confession: I have a phobia of dinosaurs (I googled it and apparently it now has a name: ornithoscelidaphobia, ha!), I know, I know, as fears go this one is way up there on the irrational list, what can I say, looks like I had to be original. Plus it is easier to fear something that no longer exists.

Oh, but a dinosaur, a dinosaur will terrify me, and if you want to give me a mini heart attack? Put a large model of Nessie in the water without telling me and let me swim... I am not kidding, when I used to swim in competitions I would imagine Nessie was chasing me in order to get that extra kick of adrenaline before touching the wall one last time.

I was even scared to death of the silly sea serpent on the 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea ride at Disneyland. I only rode that once and I had to use all the will I had as a 12 year old not to freak out in that tiny Nautilus. (I am not even going to google an image of it, just can't LOL).

So, following my irrational fears... you would think I am also terrified of dragons... I kinda am, but only if I see a "life sized" "realistic" sculpture of one, otherwise I really like to draw them, because... they are cool.

I've been a daily reader ever since Jen linked to your site from Epbot, and very much enjoy seeing your daily doodles. I've really admired your animal doodles, like the penguin and the otter, but this one is my favorite!! I've recently become somewhat obsessed with dragons, and I'd totally take this little guy home! Thanks for the smiles, and I am praying for you!

my nickname somehow became the red dragon (something to do with me being a woman with red hair who is fiercely protective of friends and family). i love dragons. and yours is no exception. he is precious!
